Updates

In contrast to certain other engines, every experience runs on the latest version of the Roblox Engine. You should keep Studio up‑to‑date to utilize the latest APIs and features.

If your current version of Studio is outdated, you'll see an Update Available button in the upper-right corner. Clicking the button will prompt you to save/close the currently open place so that Studio can automatically update and restart.

Beta features

Many beta features are available through Studio's File ⟩ Beta Features menu. Once you've enabled beta features, click the Save button and you'll be prompted to restart Studio for the features to take effect.
